Temporal AA would be nice, or smaa shader.

[Try]

Yes, I'm researching topic in background;
TAA - not great, since we have no velocity map, what will cause ghosting.
TAA + VK_NV_optical_flow nice but require latest NV gpu with AI support
FXAA and probably also SMAA - not promising as they trying to do smart blur essentially, without addressing loss of signal
MSAA - not friendly to deferred rendering
MSAA + VK_EXT_multisampled_render_to_single_sampled - promising
VK_NV_fragment_coverage_to_color - also interesting, allowing to render GBuffer almost as usual, and have a side channel with coverage mask

[apan65]

DLAA for nvidia, FSR2\TAA for amd. Other methods are outdated

[Nindaleth]

FSR2 would be cool as a vendor-agnostic open-source upscaling method for both nVidia and AMD, also for Intel and possibly Apple/Broadcom/etc. GPUs, but is FSR2 really viable to use for 1:1 "scaling" to provide that velocity map to TAA even when no upscaling takes place?

This is fire!

[Nindaleth]

+1, congratz to a beautiful release!

[inter-arc]

I was already starting to worry, no updates for quite some time.
But now I can clearly see that you have been really busy, thank you very much for your work!
